Listen "Dr. Christopher Brown - Is your child ready for school?"
Episode Synopsis
This week we are joined by Dr. Christopher Brown for our 50th episode! Chris is a former preschool, kindergarten, and 1st-grade teacher. He is also an award-winning researcher, teacher educator, and professor of early childhood education in the Department of Educational Leadership and Policy at the University of Texas at Austin. He has two books. The first, "Ready for kindergarten? Freeing yourself from the readiness trap" and "Resisting the kinder-race: Restorying joy to early learning, examines how kindergarten has become a place that races children from skill-to-skill".We chat about how the Childcare Sector and Education differs between Ireland and the US, with some healthy debate along the way! We hope you love it! Today marks our 50th episode of our Podcast - which is unbelievable. Thanks to everybody who has listened, shared and supported us along the way!
